Version 2.7 of Search Meter, my free WordPress search statistics plugin, is now available. I have added four often-requested features:
- Duplicated recent searches are shown only once in the Recent Searches plugin
- You can now specify a list of filter words. Any searches containing these words will not show up in the recent and popular search widgets, even if the searches were successful
- Search links in the widgets will work correctly whether or not fancy permalinks are enabled
- The blog administrator can decide who is allowed to see full statistics: all logged-in users, authors and administrators, or administrators only
This version of Search Meter requires WordPress 2.3 or later. If you are still using an older version you should probably upgrade anyway, otherwise you can always use an older version of Search Meter.
Let me know how the new features work for you. If you have any comments or questions, just add a comment to this page.
